The Insolence of the Saloon.

Constant familiarity with an evil blunts
u perceptions aud blinds our eyes. until
we cease to perceive its enormity. This
trite truth is exemplihed constantly in hu-
man experience, and in no one particular
SO strikingly as regarding the saloon. It
is SO universal that we do not realize the
abomination that it really is, because we
have not ready means of comparing a COM
munity free from its influence with those
which it curses, and thus of marking the
wide difference.
Did you ever realize the omnipresence of
the saloon? On every business street of
every city. every village, its doors swing
wide, inviting the needless to enter. Wher-
ever q crossroads hamlet is found, there is
the saloon. If the nucleus of a village
gathers about a mill or other manufactur-
ing establishment, the saloon rears its front
in a conspicuous place. Go to the out
skirts of q great city, where there is a rail
way yard, or a mandatory, and you will
find that the Rum Power has planted an
outpost. in the shape of a saloon, ready to
take toll out of the wages of the operat-
ives.
And wherever you find a saloon, you find
it to be a pernicious thing, educating men
downward instead of upward; q school of
immortality, vice, and crime; a school with
no vacation, with no holidays, and hence
more potent for its devilish work than the
common school is for tho right education
of our children. And its influence is greater

HOW PROHIBITION KILLS TOWNS.
Record Evidence to Show How the Closin,
of Saloons Kills Cities.

Record Evidence to Show How the Closing
of saloons Kills Cities.
The public improvements for 1856 of
Des Moines, Sioux City, and Dubuque, as
reported by the Register, Journal, and
Herald, respectively, are as follows:
Sioux CITY ], 292, j23
The open saloon departed from Des
Moines before the last year began, and was
practically suppressed during the entire
time. Intoxicants were sold in various
ways, but the traffic, thought by many to
give life to and material devel-
opment to the city, was cut off. AS a re-
suit, Des Moines triples the amount of
improvements shown in Sioux City, which
had the wide-open policy more than half
the year and open saloons all the year.
And Sioux City, where the most vigorous
prosecutions were made against the saloons
and many abatements obtained. leads Du-
buque, the very paradise of the liquor
traffic, where not a door of the business
has been closed.
The very best showing which q personal
liberty bowler can now make, is that bust
ness is not affected n way or the other by
the beer trade, and even that will not stand
the argument, and is not true.
There is not a city in Iowa which can
carry the business of a hundred saloons
and escape an actual loss in money and
time of a half million dollars. This much
OF its vitality is actually drawn out, with
out other returns than Il dividend Of de-
bauchery.
A Confederate, who fought -four years to
maintain the divine institution of slavery,
declared in a public speech, the other day,
that Notwithstanding age had whitened his
locks, he would endure the untold hard
ships and face the frightful casualties of
eight years more of cruel war,
to prevent the establishment of
human bondage in the land. All Con-
federates might not do this much. but not
one OF them who stormed the battlements
OF the Union, with an honesty and patriot
ism equal to his gallantry, would bring
forth and put in force the clanking chains
OF human thralldom, even if this power was
at his command. So we expect in the
future that those who nave been honest and
strongest, in fighting on the side of the most
powerful curse on the face of the ear. h,
Will open their eyes TO the truth, and their
hearts to conviction. Then, like The old
Confederate, they will feel ready, if need
be, to serve our years to balance their
record for evil and for good, and four more
years in favor of another emancipation and
as a contribution to go on the right side of
the ledger and to remain to the credit and
to the use of humanity, throughout the
countless cycles of the future.-Lemnrs
